ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD 2012

[SNAGGER]

         Big night tonight, probably the fastest action I've seen all season, Me and Big jimmy drove out deep at 7pm, by 9pm we put 39 eyes in the boat jigging sonars, my elbow injury was sore after the first 30 minutes, but it was too good too not smack em up good .... literally got bit on almost every cast for a while, had 5 doubles and dumped a pile...  Quite a few slobs, I'll measured them tomorrow, I know one went almost 23 inches, fished shallow from 9-10 pm ... got another 4 in the boat while enjoying the fireworks., I was having a dumpfest with a bucktail without a trailer.  Big Jimmy put up a good fight, but I edged him out tonight 23 to 20.  Great night jigging!!!!

  I was thinking of that tournament we were in last night Fred, still can't get that 5th big fish for the livewell.  

  Heres a 22 3/4
               20 1/2
               19 1/2
               18 3/4

but all the rest were 17, did throw alot back, but that 5th fish for the bag is still  haunting me.

Nice job Shane!

Man, that sheepie is a pig!!

The eyes in most of my usual spots are spread out ... few and far between.

Latched into something BIG with a sonar this morning. He (or she) was taking big slow surges. Thought I was going to have a battle on my hands ... but it tore off. I don't mind losing fish, I just like to get a look at them first. Felt like a big 'ol cat.

Nice fish. Did you weigh the big one?

Seems like you need 14+ lbs. to win one of those tourneys. I am going to guess that you would need all 5 fish to be at least 20" to get a weight like that? Of course one pig makes up for a lot.

You Oneida guys are unreal. The numbers you put up is crazy. This past week is my first time ever fishing it out of a boat for walleye. Fished it twice this week so far.  I have gotten three walleye each trip out. I forgot my tape in the car today so I tossed one walleye back in the drink that I should have kept. Got all 3 in 18 FOW.. Launched at Oneida Shores this morn. Bass tourney going on. That was a mistake. Heres a few from today. I feel like I have no business posting on this thread  








I havent been able to get out early enough because my running lights havent been working. So I have had kind of a late start. Im heading back out tomorrow. Report back.
